Effie & Ollie Elephant

My friend Bernie (whom I made the "Beware: Artist at Work" cross stitch sampler for) sent me a belated birthday present a few weeks ago and I couldn't wait to make the Heather Bailey elephant pattern she sent me.

I thought it would take me a couple of hours, but about 5 hours later I managed to complete it. I must admit that I'm not the most competent sewer so it's me rather than the pattern which was easy to follow. The curved sections were a bit tricky which is why I took longer than anticipated.

The fabric was one of the presents too, so here is my new elephant pin cushion!
